Concerto Barocco Tickets

Concerto Barocco is a landmark neoclassical ballet choreographed by George Balanchine to Johann Sebastian Bach's Double Violin Concerto. Known for its musical counterpoint, rhythm, and a canvas that emphasizes movement in dialogue with Bach’s score, the work features two lead female dancers, one male dancer, and eight female corps, delivering a plotless yet emotionally resonant performance. Since its preview in 1941 and official premiere with the American Ballet Caravan in Rio de Janeiro, Concerto Barocco has traveled to major companies worldwide, including New York City Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and the Royal Danish Ballet. The piece remains a favorite in repertory due to its clarity of form, musicality, and Balanchine's signature approach to movement and score.
